Dear friends,

 

Many of you will be at the IUFRO World Congress in Stockholm, but not me, unfortunately. I hope you are all having a good time!

 

I just wanted to remind everyone that if you are looking for a good outlet for your research on forest health, look no further than Frontiers in Forests and Global Change – Pests, Pathogens and Invasions. (OK, this is self-serving, as I am the Specialty Chief Editor, but what the heck… 😊)

 

I would like to invite you all to consider submission of research topics or individual research papers. We are specifically interested in regionally focused research topics or articles. For example, topics and papers around pests and pathogens in Southeast Asia, or pests and pathogens in Central Africa, etcetera.

 

Other topics of interest revolve around the issue of invasions by non-native pests and pathogens, specifically the issues of prediction of invaders and target countries/continents, and analyses of introduction pathways, including means of introduction (live plants for planting, dunnage, etc.) and predominant global trade routes. Other topics around aspects of biotech and machine learning to exploit biological and genetic data are also of high interest.

 

I hope you will consider submitting to the journal.

 

Cheers!

 

Enrico
